placeholder from placeholder by Hand Habits

last time that i saw you
both hands in the dirt
asking for a photograph
a picture you did not deserve

oh but i was just a placeholder
a lesson to be learned
oh i was just a placeholder
a place you will return

last time that i heard your voice
words i couldn’t comprehend
as a thousand years of feedback
screaming in my head

oh but i was just a placeholder
exchange for what you had
oh i was just a placeholder
a tension you retract

ahh ah ah ah

curious i came to you
you wordlessly ignored
as i stumbled psychically upon a truth i could not afford
oh but i was just a placeholder
a place and nothing more
oh i was just a placeholder with nothing to stand for

this is where i doubted you,
and endless compromise
to say that you told me to the truth is to tell each other lies
oh but now you are the placeholder
blinded by desire
oh now you’re just a placeholder for someone wasting time

ahha ah ahahaa
